Audiobook Review
Putting into words how much I enjoyed this book is hard to articulate. Oh, how I wish this book were at the top of every recommendation list so I could have read it much sooner.
The narration of this audiobook was done by Rhonda Stoppe herself, and I quite enjoyed her tone, I listened to it at 1.7 speed and could not stop listening. It is one of the only audiobooks I’ve ever walked for longer to finish a chapter. Her emotions came through tangibly; you could hear her smile and truly feel her sadness through different portions of the book.
If My Husband Would Change, I’d Be Happy & Other Myths Wives Believe is not a book full of new advice; it is not full of groundbreaking theories and revelations. However, the way Rhonda Stoppe presents the information makes it one of the best marriage books I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
Rhonda Stoppe clearly explains some hard-to-face truths with humor and wonderful backstories, life lessons, and biblical basis. She speaks plainly and puts words to actions we sometimes don’t even realize we are doing. Her husband’s notes at the end of each chapter were a nice touch on the male perspective for each chapter.
I’ve never had the opportunity to see a Titus 2 woman in action, but I so enjoyed getting a glimpse of one through Rhonda Stoppe, and I will be forever blessed to have read this story. Thank you, Rhonda Stoppe, for writing it.
Highly recommend this book. 5 Stars.
